Greetings (this sounds like a draft notice) :D I have not visited Textkit for several years but am now back.I first studied Latin in 1956 and Greek in 1960.Taught both for a few years but was distracted away from the field by business and only returned a few years ago.I currently am coordinating 4 study groups on the GreekStudy List and coordinated a ...

Right now I'm studying Attic Greek in order to read the classics (and the bible- correct me if I'm wrong, but Attic Greek is close enough to Koine, right?), and just because, I mean, because I've been a language enthusiast for as long as I can remember (since ten years old, 'kay?), but I haven't really studied languages that much, just read about them (except for French, which is at an intermediate level right now, ...

I've been a lurker for a while -- now that I'm diving into Greek this summer, thought I'd actually make an account!

I studied math and poetry as an undergrad, and I'm continuing that now reading about history of science and poetry of various sorts. I'm especially interested, besides in the ancient world, in "Early Modern" English poetry, before the "two cultures" of science and literature split. As a poet myself, and someone ...

I just joined and would like to introduce myself. I have been learning Latin through self-study, on and off, for about four years now. My studying has been much more “off” than “on”, and I estimate I have spent only about six or seven months actually learning. I am currently working through the first volume of Lingua Latina again and will read chapter XXXV today.

As a believer with Bible interests that include apologetics and infallibility issues, I've been interested in Greek, and some Latin, discussions in Bible text studies for many years.

Often I like to see how the historical views of an issue developed, and if they differ from the modern views. So in that sense some of my interest is more journalistic than text-geek. However, in so ...

I am from Bangalore and I love the Latin language. I dream of the day when I can take a Virgil and read it completely on my own without needing a translation tool! I have just begun to actually start learning the language using D'Ooge and I hope to make the best out of it *fingers crossed*. Finding this forum was a great encouragement as well... Oh, and if there are Latin learners ...

Does anyone know what's happened to Prof. Diane Johnson of Western Washington University? She put on the web her edition of Posselius's Familiarium Colloquiorum Libellus Graece et Latine, which now, together with all her work, has disappeared, although I could find the pdf elsewhere. I tried to write to her at WWU but my message bounced back. I found some typos (at least I think they are typos) in the book and wanted to ...

I'm a Philosophy/Classics student at UMKC under Prof. Rydberg-Cox. I've taken 3+ semesters of Ancient Greek and have worked on a few side projects regarding classics. I chose to learn Ancient Greek because of my focus on ancient philosophy.

I'm not a heavy forum user, but when I hit tough problems that I can't find the answer to elsewhere (e.g., Perseus), I turn to the people who know the subject best ...
